Governing Provisions The parties shall be subject to the provisions of Arkansas Code Ann. 23-18-604 and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Net Metering Rules, and the Company s applicable tariffs. Section 3. Interruption or Reduction of Deliveries The Company shall not be obligated to accept and may require Customer to interrupt or reduce deliveries when necessary in order to construct, install, repair, replace, removed, investigate, or inspect any of its equipment or part of its system; or if it reasonably determines that curtailment, interruption, or reduction is necessary because of emergencies, forced outages, force majeure, or compliance with prudent electrical practices. Whenever possible, the Company shall give the Customer reasonable notice of the possibility that interruption or reduction of deliveries may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the Company reasonably determines that either the facility may endanger the Company s personnel or other persons or property, or the continued operation of the Customer s facility may endanger the integrity or safety of the Company s electric system, the Company shall have the right to disconnect and lock out the Customer s facility from the Company s electric system. The Customer s facility shall remain disconnected until such time as the Company is reasonably satisfied that the conditions referenced in this Section have been corrected. Section 4.

Customer shall provide and install a meter socket for the Company s meter and any related interconnection equipment per the Company s technical requirements, including safety and performance standards.
The customer shall submit a Standard Interconnection agreement to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the customer intends to interconnect the net metering facilities to the Company s facilities. Part I, Standard Information, Sections 1 through 4 of the Standard Interconnection Agreement must be completed for the notification to be valid. The customer shall have all equipment necessary to complete the interconnection prior to such notification. If mailed, the date of notification shall be the third day following the mailing of the Standard Interconnection Agreement. The Company shall provide a copy of the Standard Interconnection Agreement to the customer upon request. Following notification by the customer as specified in Rule 3.01.C, the Company shall review the plans of the facility and provide the results of its review to the customer within 30 calendar days. Any items that would prevent parallel operation due to violation of applicable safety standards and/or power generation limits shall be explained along with a description of the modifications necessary to remedy the violations. To prevent a net metering customer from back-feeding a de-energized line, the customer shall install a manual disconnect switch with lockout capability that is accessible to Company personnel at all hours. This requirement for a manual disconnect switch will be waived if the following three conditions are met: 1) The inverter equipment must be designed to shut down or disconnect and cannot be manually overridden by the customer upon loss of Company service; 2) The inverter must be warranted by the manufacturer to shut down or disconnect upon loss of Company service; and 3) The inverter must be properly installed and operated, and inspected and/or tested by Company personnel. Customer, at his own expense, shall meet all safety and performance standards established by local and national electrical codes including the National Electrical Code (NEC), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Customer, at his own expense, shall meet all safety and performance standards adopted by the Company and filed with and approved by the Commission pursuant to Rule 3.01.F that are necessary to assure safe and reliable operation of the net metering facility to the Company s system. Customer shall not commence parallel operation of the net metering facility until the net metering facility has been inspected and approved by the Company. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company s approval to operate the Customer s net metering facility in parallel with the Company s electrical system should not be construed as an endorsement, confirmation, warranty, guarantee, or representation concerning the safety, operating characteristics, durability, or reliability of the Customer s net metering facility. Modifications or changes made to a net metering facility shall be evaluated by the Company prior to being made. The Customer shall provide detailed information describing the modifications or changes to the Company in writing prior to making the modification to the net metering facility. The Company shall review the proposed changes to the facility and provide the results of its evaluation to the Customer within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Customer s proposal. Any items that would prevent parallel operation due to violation of applicable safety standards and/or power generation limits shall be explained along with a description of the modifications necessary to remedy the violations. Section 5. Maintenance and Permits The customer shall obtain any governmental authorizations and permits required for the construction and operation of the net metering facility and interconnection facilities. The
Customer shall maintain the net metering facility and interconnection facilities in a safe and reliable manner and in conformance with all applicable laws and regulations. Section 6. Access to Premises The Company may enter the Customer s premises to inspect the Customer s protective devices and read or test the meter. The Company may disconnect the interconnection facilities without notice if the Company reasonably believes a hazardous condition exists and such immediate action is necessary to protect persons, or the Company s facilities, or property of others from damage or interference caused by the Customer s facilities, or lack of properly operating protective devices. Section 7. Indemnity and Liability The following is applicable to Agreements between the Company and all Customers except the State of Arkansas and any entities thereof, local governments and federal agencies. Each party shall indemnify the other party, its directors, officers, agents, and employees against all loss, damages expense and liability to third persons for injury to or death of persons or injury to property caused by the indemnifying party s engineering design, construction ownership or operations of, or the making of replacements, additions or betterment to, or by failure of, any of such party s works or facilities used in connection with this Agreement by reason of omission or negligence, whether active or passive. The indemnifying party shall, on the other party s request, defend any suit asserting a claim covered by this indemnity. The indemnifying party shall pay all costs that may be incurred by the other party in enforcing this indemnity. It is the intent of the parties hereto that, where negligence is determined to be contributory, principles of comparative negligence will be followed and each party shall bear the proportionate cost of any loss, damage, expense and liability attributable to the party s negligence. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty to, any standard of care with reference to or any liability to any person not a party to this Agreement. Neither the Company, its officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any claims, demands, costs, losses, causes of action, or any other liability of any nature or kind, arising out of the engineering, design construction, ownership, maintenance or operation of, or make replacements, additions or betterment to, the Customer s facilities by the Customer or any other person or entity.
